Both are free to download. Stack Rush sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Bow Smash sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bow Smash holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bow Smash has 1.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Stack Rush's written reviews are positive against 16% of Bow Smash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stack Rush ships an update fortnightly, Bow Smash every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
